It's usually Christmas that is associated with so many iconic, seasonal movies, but David Boze and the Dori Monson Show crew decided to compile a list of the best patriotic movies to watch on the Fourth of July.

As my pick, nothing beats an old war movie that shows how feisty Americans are. It's a tale of the struggle and camaraderie of Americans in a German POW camp who tunnel out to escape. And you can't beat Steve McQueen's motorcycle chase scene - it's even more impressive since he does his own stunts.

David Boze says it wasn't even a contest. It's not technically a movie, but David says he can't make it through the opening credits without choking up at the emotion of the WWII classic. It has the hope, determination, sacrifice, and triumph of the Greatest Generation.

Erynn Rose loves this Patriotic movie about a group of people fighting for a nation that didn't want them. It's a powerful American Civil War story about the first US Army unit made up entirely of African American soldiers.

Tom Tangney wrote that this black and white classic has all the best patriotic music to get you in the mood for the Fourth. It's a bio-pic, starring James Cagney, about George M. Cohan, who wrote many of the patriotic songs we know and love today.
